Then Gangleri asked:'What did All-father set about doing, once Asgarđ was built?'High One replied:'At first he appointed rulers who, along with him, were to control the destinies of men, and decide how the stronghold should be governed. That was in the place called Iđavöll (plain that renews itself or plain of activity) in the middle of the stronghold. Their first task was to build a temple in which there were seats for the twelve of them, apart from the high-seat of the All-father. That is the largest and best dwelling on earth; outside and in it is like pure gold; it is called Glađsheim (Radiant Home). They built another hall that was the sanctuary of the goddesses, and it was a very beautiful building; it is called Vingólf. Next they laid the hearth of a forge and then made hammer and tongs and an anvil, and thence forward all other tools, and went on to work in metals and stone and wood, and also in gold, so abundantly that all their household utensils and furniture were of gold. That age was called the Golden Age before it was spoiled by the arrival of the women who came from Giantland.''Then the gods seated themselves on their thrones and held counsel, and remembered how dwarfs had quickened in the earth and under the soil like maggots in flesh. The dwarfs had first emerged and come to life in Ymir's flesh, and at that time were maggots. But by the decree of the gods they acquired human understanding and the appearance of men, although they lived in the earth and in rocks. Móđsognir was the most famous, and next to him Dunn. As it says in the Sibyl's Vision:"All the gods sought then their judgment-seats, powers that are supreme decided how dwarfs should be brought into being from bloody surf and the legs of Bláin (Ymir’s bones). There many dwarfs resembling men they made in earth as Durin said."And the sibyl gives these as their names:Nýi, Niđi,Norđri (North), Suđri (South),Austri (East), Vestri (West),Althjóf, Dvalin (one lying in a trance),Nár (corpse), Náin,Niping, Dáin,Bifur, Báfur,Bömbör, Nori,Óri, Ónar,Óin, Mjöđvitnir (mead wolf),Vig and Gandálf (elf of the wand),Vinndálf (wind elf), Thorin (bold one),Fili, Kili,Fundin (found one), Vali,Thrór, Thróin,Thekk (pleasant one), Lit, Vit,Nýr (new one), Nýráđ,Rekk, Rásviđ (wise in advice).And these too are dwarfs and they live in rocks, but the above-mentioned live in the earth:Draupnir, Dólgthvari (battle stock),Haur, Hugstari,Hleđólf, Glóin,Dóri, Óri,Dúf, Aridvari,Heptifili,Hár (tall one), Svíar.The following, however, came from Svarin's grave-mound to Aurvangar in Jöruvellir, and from these have sprung Lovar; their names areSkirvir, Virvir,Skafiđ, Ái,Álf; Ingi,Eikinskjaldi,Fal, Frosti,Fjđ, Ginnar (enticer).'Then Gangleri asked:'Where is the chief place or sanctuary of the gods?'
